I ordered it from the MS store, and it probably won't come this week. Could I go to Gamestop tomorrow, buy a copy, play that, then return the one I got from the MS Store?

Wait, PC version doesn't have dedicated servers? Why am I seeing lobbies on streams instead of server browser?

Dedicated servers, but they're all hosted by Treyarch.

Sure, as long as the packaging doesn't have some weird GameStop logo on it like ACIII.

Found some PS3 footage that doesn't look as washed out and dull as a lot of the other footage out there.
Looks pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMDbKFSwwoU&hd=1

4th to last mission in campaign question:
I don't remember the mission name but it's when you play as Farid in the beginning and you think Menendez already knows you're the mole. At the part where he wants you to shoot Harper, I chose to shoot Menendez. Is it different if you shoot Harper? With Menendez, he shoots you before you can shoot him and then finishes you off afterwards.

Thanks for the impressions. Some spoilerish SP things in that vid.

Do you get your games early from the publisher or a local store in NYC? I know Whity used to get his games from the store he works(worked?) PM me if it's from a store just so I can know for future reference.

I get some games from the publisher/PR people (activision, Square, Reverbgames, step-3 etc). Others I get from early from some stores, and then some I just get day 1 and work as fast as I can to stream or get the stuff up.
Everything is fairly early on, so no huge late game, major spoilers.

That looks pretty good. Looked pretty crisp. Just how I like my text and games.
So I decided to pre-order BO2 on Steam completely out of nowhere just now. As in, I wasn't even looking forward to the game at all and really haven't given COD a second thought since the first Black Ops.
Don't know what the hell just came over me, but all of a sudden I just had an urge to try it out. Consider this my first and only impulse purchase of the year I've heard rumblings that the PC version is pretty damn solid as well (dedicated servers, FOV slider, etc) so that's some good news - I haven't been following the Black Ops 2 hype train at all so this is all new to me. .

LOL... Shoot me a message and I'll add ya after I remove a dead account.
Nice review man! Subscribed.
played 2 hours of MP on PC (total impulse buy lol)
1080p max settings 8x MSAA no FXAA runs 120+ fps on a 670 (SLI not yet possible, latest Nvidia betas) ... so it's nice and smooth on my 120 Hz display
1st thought : graphics are OKish ... sharp with all that AA but the textures are barely acceptable sometimes (somebody sell these guys a new engine lol)
2nd thought : goddamn this game is FAST (haven't played CoD since ~6 months after the 1st BO) ... seriously feels like I'm playing in FFW mode
so I spent most my time with the bolt-action sniper, basically treating the game like it was Quake 3 / UT Instagib. Works out OK for me but some people were complaining about all the snipers in the game ...
for now I'm not really regretting buying this; it does enough things differently compared to other shooters I play and I hadn't played CoD in a long time. If you're used to the speed of MW2/BO1 you'll like this as well probably.
On the other hand I'm not sure I'll be getting a season pass ... I do hope that hardcore mode offers a bit more tactical challenge compared to the reaction-based "vanilla" gameplay ... let's find out tomorrow

Nice review, subscribed.
I enjoyed the single player in black ops and this one looks neat too. I'll play some multiplayer with friends, but will probably be done with it by the new year.

I hope the maps are bigger than the ones in MW3.
I need space to execute my strategies. Its just chaos otherwise.

Everyone said that these maps are probably some of the smallest in the series, so the game feels even more fast paced and quick.

That kinda explains the UAV complaints of being killed 3 times in 10 seconds.
Mine just worked for the Gamestop site. Generic code by the looks of it, just a marketing thing. Will be curious how I get the Nuketown map.

Wait, the maps are SMALLER than mw3? Are they all just variations of Shipment or something? I thought the maps sizes were fine on blops 1 so if this is true then it's rather disappointing.
